  1. very underrated considering the price & what he fills in for the lakers is literally perfect

  2. What I love with this another addition is he can shoot from outside..big help..hope they can fully unlock his potential.. let's go Lakers

  3. I hope he balls out, a perfect fit w AD, we win the ship convincingly (aka KD warriors) and he gets resigned. Him, Christie, Reddish, Hayes are my sleepers for this team.

    Just my hope.

    Im tired each summer we out here looking for talent and not sure what the team gonna look like by training camp.

  4. Whats this love w Dlo. Ive nothing against the guy, not even the conference finals lackluster play. I think Dlo is great for this team but why start if its not the best fit?

    He's also the most likely to be traded. No shade, just ststing facts bro.

    Instead of
    Dlo/Reaves/Vando/Lebron/AD

    Replace Dlo with Wood.
    We dont need what dlo brings to the starters. We have lebron and Reaves for that.

    Wood spreads the floor just like dlo. He also allows AD to play the 4 on defense. Wood is horrible defensively guarding wings on mismatch. What goes unnoticed in most of these talks is how excellent wood is protecting the rim and im not just talking blocks.
    Along with AD playing help defense, i think wood needs to start. Hes an excellent defensive rebounder too. Vando allows lebron to not guard the best opposing wings.

    Starting lineup should be
    Reaves/ Lebron/Vando/wood/AD.

    Bench:
    Dlo/Christie/Prince/Rui/Hayes

    Injury reserve:
    Gabe/Reddish (if theres injury any any of the starter or bench.

    Garbage time:
    Jalen Hood/Dmoi/Max Lewis/Castleton/

    That starting lineup is Bigger, better defensively, better rebounding, matches up better w Denver and Phx.

    6ft5 Reaves vs kcp 6ft5
    6ft9 Lebron vs mpj 6ft10
    6ft10 Vando vs murray 6ft4
    6ft10 wood vs joker 6ft11
    6ft10 AD vs Gordon 6ft8

    Or

    6ft5 Reaves vs Beal 6ft5
    6ft9 Lebron vs Booker 6ft5
    6ft10 Vando vs KD 6ft9
    6ft10 Wood vs Yuta 6ft9
    6ft10 AD vs 6ft10 Ayton

  5. Lakers finished the Regular season ranked 25th NBA for TEAM 3-point shooting percentage, SAD. And 26th NBA for attempts per game. Lakers need Christian Wood's Pick & Pop 3-pointers.

  6. You can let AD check the sf they do that anyway if you watch AD always check kawhi Kd Jt

  7. The small forward and power forward position is interchangeable in todays NBA. All the pfs are sfs, that’s why Wood as a PF and Lebron at SF would give the Lakers a gigantic size advantage against 90% of the league. Let Reaves and DLo run the offense let Bron focus on being an off ball slasher/defender. If the team needs him to run the point, he can step in and do so at any time. Vando Rui and Hayes off the bench. I would even bring DLo off the bench and start Prince or Christie next to Reaves as well. Training camp starts in a couple weeks. We’ll see then.

  8. I think wood starting or coming off the bench primarily depends on what match up the other teams give us and whether or not wood is playing well to deserve a starting spot despite match ups. Like you pointed out in the video, I think this would depend on how small or big the opponents’ backcourt duo is and how much/quick their SFs move around the court on and off the ball.

  9. Would like to C.Wood (shout-out to LBC) come off the bench once LBJ goes to the bench. Reason why Vando is such a great defender, also his 3’s have gotten better. C.Wood would be a great closer when Lakers need points.
